“I tickled the pride of my players”, reveals Garbajosa (Lyon)

Xavier Garbajosa (manager of Lyon, after the victory on the wire against UBB on Sunday evening): “We have lived through a complicated period. There are good things in training, but it’s not enough. You need wins. Tonight, there is joy, measured, contained. But there is joy. This week, the players were tickled to know if they had pride, character. This victory is important. When we see the first half, we could have collapsed. The heart of this group beats well. But this is not a benchmark win. We had to fight until the last minute to win. Despite mistakes, the players showed pride to win this game. Everyone gave their best tonight».
